Maybe you’re still in doubt whether you should come to BLOG08. Or you might need to convince your boss or fiancée? The five reasons will make it easier for you.

9 days to BLOG08, here are 5 reasons why you should be there1. We have great and inspiring speakers who all master a different online publishing skill.

2. Super vloggers Gabe Mac (Mobuzz) and Loren Feldman will spice up the place with live shows.

3. With all this financial crisis sensationalism buzzing around, you NEED a break. Get out of that office, get inspired, have fun, meet new people, and do business.

4. It will be a conference unlike any other conference, with a lot of surprising stuff. Trust me, it will be an experience that sticks.

5. This is the chance to meet cool bloggers (Pete Cashmore, Hugh MacLeod and a lot more), serial entrepreneurs (Scott Rafer, our own Boris), crazy vloggers (see point 2), inspiring attendees, journalists and speakers. All in an intimate but kick ass setting.

Bonus: Because you rock!

Tickets are 195 euros, grab one now. I look forward welcoming you in Amsterdam next week.

P.S. Really, the one reason I can think of when it’s OK not to go would be when you had those Morgan Stanley stocks and are now chilling on the Cayman Islands while reading this post on your Kindle.

    The one reason I can think of when it’s OK not to go would be that you have a girlfriend who is expecting a baby on Saturday the 25th, her parents still do not know she’s having a baby and you have to go to your future in laws to explain them that they’ll become grannies that Saturday :)
